MG Book Review: Nutcracked by Susan Adrian

I interviewed Susan Adrian earlier this week about her writing process, inspiration, etc. Read all about it here.

A magic Russian Nutcracker sweeps Georgie right off her ballet dancing feet in
Nutcracked!

For as long as they can remember, Georgie and her best friend Kaitlyn have dreamed of
getting the part of Clara in the Nutcracker ballet. But when only Clara gets the part, their
friendship is tested. Georgie is already stressed. Her Grandfather is in a coma. She enlists
the help of Noah to magically go to Drosselmeyer’s toyshop and battle the Mouse King.
There they discover the real reason the Nutcracker has been cursed and make all well.

This is a fun re-imagining of the Nutcracker that is sure to please middle-grade readers.With a great mix of magic, real-world problems and ballet Nutcracked is a Christmastimemust read.
